Now that's Funny Mike because that's what I was thinking about this thread ?

?you know we all ski they way we want and what and where too. ?The interesting thing about this site is that folks can have such differing preferences but still seem to have the same passion for skiing. I think of doing drills and such (longer than 1/2 hour) unless I was competively skiing as dreadful. ?As a reformed technical-obsessed skiier, I look as it being against the spirit of free-skiing. So it's funny to see me called the Grinch, but I will do my best to uphld such a heavy burden. ?Just wait till January when I will have to think up some devious plot to interupt the JC event! ?Hmm, I must stop the clinic from coming some how ?

(quote from the Grinch) So Before I head out this AM to my church of Steamboat, I will pray for all of your souls that they may be freed of the oppressive compulsion for the impossibe search for perfection and that you may someday ski with clear and present minds in the church of the perpectual smiles with the acceptance that its ok to just have fun and even stem a turn or two ?

?I am really looking forward to seeing everyone! We can have some laughs and I will even let you ma my skiing! ?
